Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 119
The Advanced Nursing Education - Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (ANE-SANE) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), listed under CFDA 93.247. The program is designed to strengthen the sexual assault response workforce by expanding advanced nursing education and increasing the number of nurses who are trained and certified as Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs). It focuses on building capacity at the local, regional, and/or state level so more communities have access to appropriately trained clinicians who can provide specialized, trauma-informed care after a sexual assault.
At the core of the opportunity is workforce development for three key groups: Registered Nurses (RNs), Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), and Forensic Nurses. In this announcement, APRNs are defined to include Nurse Practitioners, Certified Nurse Midwives, and Nurse Anesthetists. The intent is not just to expose nurses to general information about sexual assault care, but to support the structured education and practical preparation required for SANE practice, including progressing nurses toward formal certification where applicable.
HRSA signals that strong applicants are those that already have, or can clearly demonstrate, the operational infrastructure needed to run a comprehensive training pipeline. That includes the ability to recruit eligible nurses, organize and deliver both didactic (classroom or structured educational) training and supervised clinical training, and coordinate these components with identified partner organizations. The program also emphasizes accountability and follow-through: applicants should be able to monitor and track hands-on experiential learning hours and document progress through certification completion. Another highlighted feature is retention, meaning applicants should have clear, credible strategies for creating "communities of practice" that support SANEs over time, reduce professional isolation, and help keep trained clinicians in the health workforce rather than losing them after initial training.
The overall public health and public safety rationale for ANE-SANE is to improve the quality and consistency of sexual assault forensic examinations. By increasing the availability of trained SANE providers, the program aims to improve survivors' immediate and longer-term physical and mental health care, enhance the quality of forensic evidence collection, and ultimately support better investigative and legal outcomes, including higher prosecution rates. In practice, this positions SANE training as a bridge between clinical care and the justice system, with an emphasis on survivor-centered care that is also forensically sound.
From the funding announcement details, the opportunity number is HRSA-18-119, and the funding instrument type is a grant. The original posting date was June 14, 2018, with an original closing date of July 26, 2018. HRSA anticipated making 16 awards. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates that the ceiling amount was not specified in the summary field and would normally need to be verified in the full funding opportunity announcement or related guidance. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants should consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification on which organization types qualify.
In short, ANE-SANE is a capacity-building grant program aimed at creating and sustaining a stronger SANE workforce by funding organized training and certification pathways, requiring measurable tracking of clinical experience and completion milestones, and encouraging durable professional networks that help retain these specialized nurses in communities where they are needed.Apply for HRSA 18 119
